Since this is probably intended, I'm not going to log a bug for it, but still: look at the list above. Earning Speedrunner Bronze through Gold in one run seems fair to me. Earning both Icarus and Compet-n medals in the same run is technically exactly to be expected, yet it's impossible to earn more than one UAC Star. Why?

Thomas:
The way it's supposed to work is:
If it's a badge, the game will only keep track of the first time you earn it, obviously.

If it's a medal, the game will always keep track of the first time you earn it, and then also every subsequent time you earn them UNLESS you also got a medal that is strictly better (such as getting a compet-n platinum making you ineligible for a compet-n gold)

I just did a 7 minute run of ITYTD and confirmed this. This must've been your first speedrun, like the speedrun bronze medal suggests.

LuckyDee:
It wasn't my run, but that's beside the point. But that would mean that if I reset my stats and play my very first run with a 100+ kill streak, I'd get all 3 UAC stars (and only on the very first run)?

Yes. Doesn't have to be the very first though, just so long as you've never managed to get 25+ kills without taking damage in any of your recorded runs.

LuckyDee:
That would explain why I only ever see this on mortems for speedruns; it's pretty common to try and grab a UAC star, but most players are usually done speedrunning after the first successful attempt (as long as there are no other achievements to be earned). Thanks for your help.
